ITS TIME TO GET RAW!
We are live from Indy and the NEW WWE Champion, Randy Orton is introduced from the get-go. However, Randy doesn’t get his time to celebrate as Sheamus comes out saying that for the sake of the WWE Universe, he can’t allow Randy to have his moment. He says that he lost his title twice in multi-man matches. He forgets to mention that he was the last man eliminated last night, but whatever works. Sheamus reminds Randy that he never beat him one on one. Randy puts the truth out there and calls Sheamus pathetic. Randy warns Sheamus that he better get his rematch quickly or he’ll get kicked in the head. Sheamus doesn’t take lightly to threats, so he makes a threat himself that he’ll kick Orton’s head off. Orton dares him to try, so the RAW GMail chimes in and it is announced for Hell in a Cell. Sheamus smiles, saying that since he ended Triple H’s career, he will enjoy the Cell. Sheamus wants the title back, thinking Randy is an honorable man. That’s a mistake. Randy says that he’d RKO his own grandmother and even Sheamus’ grandmother just to see the look on her face. Randy then decides to give Sheamus the championship…before downing him with the RKO. HAHA.
Orton returns to the ring and he lines up for the Concussion Kick, but Sheamus runs for the races.
Tonight, John Cena faces Wade Barrett, supposedly for the first time, but I can’t remember.

If Cena wins, the Nexus is history. Wade Barrett agrees to the stipulation.
